Chapter 916: Departure Immediately
Wang Hao is the only hope of the Wang family, and he doesn't want to see Wang Hao go astray.
"I need a room and some things." Jiang Chen said.
Wang Hao immediately sent someone to prepare it.
…
Half a day later, Jiang Chen walked out of the room with an indifferent expression.
"How about it? "
Wang Hao rushed forward and asked, full of anticipation.
"Okay." Jiang Chen replied coldly.
Hearing the words of affirmation, everyone in the Wang family showed happy expressions.
"Then we'll set off right away."
The head of the Wang family said impatiently, fearing that Jiang Chen would change his mind.
"Um."
Jiang Chen nodded and left Qingzhou with the Wang family.
…
Three days later, the Wang family arrived at their destination, Qingshui City, 500 miles away from Qingzhou.
Qingshui City is a large city. It is prosperous due to its abundant mineral veins and developed trade .
Jiang Chen and his companions caused quite a stir as soon as they arrived in the city.
Because the Wang family is well-known in Qingzhou, and the head of the Wang family is a sixth-level formation master.
"Who are you?"
A group of guards surrounded the gate of Qingshui City.
The Wang family guard had a gloomy expression on his face. He curled his lips in disdain and was too lazy to answer.
"How dare you! I am the Patriarch of the Wang Family. Why don't you step down?"
An old man from the Wang family scolded.
Upon hearing this, the guards of Qingshui City dispersed.
The gates of Qingshui Castle opened immediately.
The Wang family guards followed the head of the Wang family into the city.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Both sides of the streets are lined with various shops, and the goods in the shops are dazzling.
“Is this Wang’s shop?”
Jiang Chen followed him into the store and looked at the exhibits inside.
He had no interest in any of this and looked around for something suitable.
Suddenly, he noticed a stone tablet hanging on the wall. Under the stone tablet was a small box with the word "Treasure Book" written on the lid of the box.
"Is this a martial arts technique?"
Jiang Chen was surprised and reached out to take the book.
He looked at it carefully. Although the stone tablet looked ordinary, it actually contained a strange fluctuation, which made the whole stone tablet look extraordinary.
"Huh?"
However, when Jiang Chen held the book, his expression suddenly changed.
The vibration of the stone tablet disappeared, returning to normal.
Moreover, densely packed fonts appeared on the tome, making it look very much like a book.
"What's this?"
Wang Hao also came over in surprise, wanting to know what this stone tablet was.
"This is a soul stone. Generally speaking, it is the medium for martial emperors to practice secret techniques."
"The Soul Stone contains an exquisite secret technique. Every time you use the secret technique, your soul power will be depleted."
"After performing the secret technique, the power of the soul will be weakened for at least ten years."
"But the Soul Stone is extremely valuable. Even if it consumes soul power, there are still people who fight to get it, and even kill to get it."
The voice of the sword spirit came from Jiang Chen’s mind.
Jiang Chen suddenly realized why the vibration of the stone tablet disappeared.
It turned out that the stone tablet was absorbing the essence of the soul stone.
When the energy of the soul stone disappears, the stele will return to its original state.
"You mean, if I learn the secret technique of the soul stone, I can gain enormous energy." Jiang Chen asked.
The sword spirit said: "In theory, it is true."
Jiang Chen raised the corners of his mouth with an evil smile.
Immediately, he waved the stone tablet in his hand.
"Break it for me!"
With a sudden shout, the stone tablet burst into a dazzling purple light.
“Buzz.”
A buzzing sound was heard, and the stone tablet began to vibrate violently . The runes that appeared on it flowed like streams of light and rushed towards Jiang Chen's brows.
At the same time, the brilliance of the stone tablet gradually dimmed.
“Hoo-hoo.”
After the stone tablet disappeared, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Is it so difficult?" Jiang Chen frowned, feeling like he was carrying a thousand-pound boulder.
"You have only scratched the surface of soul power."
The sword spirit explained: "If you want to learn the truly powerful soul secrets, you must control the power of the soul."
"Once you have mastered soul power, the speed of learning soul secrets will increase exponentially."
"I see."
Jiang Chen nodded, finally understanding why he felt so exhausted.
"The power of the soul is extraordinary and not something that ordinary people can control."
The sword spirit continued, "You'd better find a high-level formation master and ask him to help you cultivate your soul."
Jiang Chen nodded. He didn't expect to use this stone tablet to learn the secret art of the soul.
"Who are you?"
"Get out of here!"
Just when Jiang Chen wanted to go somewhere else for a walk, several strong men blocked him and roared ferociously.
"Who are you?" Jiang Chen asked with a cold face.
"Hmph, none of your business!"
A burly man cursed and stretched out his rough hands to grab Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen stood there with a cold face, allowing them to attack.
Bang!
Just when the burly man was about to touch Jiang Chen, he was blown away by an invisible force.
Phew!
The strong man fell to the ground, spitting out blood, his eyes full of fear.
"hiss!"
The other strong men were frightened and dared not act rashly.
Jiang Chen turned to look at the Wang family's team and found that Wang Hao's face was not looking good.
"Wang Hao, do you know this group of people?"
Jiang Chen asked doubtfully.
"They are from the Li family."
Wang Hao said in a deep voice: "The Li family is the strongest family in Qingyang County."
"So domineering?"
Jiang Chen was surprised. He thought the Wang family could suppress Qingyang County, but he didn't expect it was just a temporary measure.
"Hey, kid, since you know this is the Li family's territory, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy."
A sturdy man shouted arrogantly, he recognized the people from the Wang family.
"This young master." Wang Hao shook his head, signaling Jiang Chen not to provoke the Li family.
"The Li family's territory?"
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"what are you up to!"
The people of the Li family noticed Jiang Chen's ill intentions and immediately became alert.
“Bang!”
Jiang Chen raised his hand and slapped the person who spoke hard on the face.
The man screamed and his face swelled up like a steamed bun.
The others stood there in a daze, not expecting Jiang Chen to dare to take action.
"If you dare to do it, the Li family will not let you go."
Covering his red and swollen cheek, the Li family member roared angrily.
"Who can stop me from doing what I want to do?"
Jiang Chen said disdainfully, grabbing his neck.
With a snap, the man's neck was broken.
The other members of the Li family were shocked. They didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so cruel.
"Do you want to die or leave here?"
Jiang Chen looked at them with cold eyes.
Many of the Li family's disciples swallowed their saliva, no one dared to resist, and they ran away in shame.
"let's go."
Seeing the Li family members leave, Wang Hao took Jiang Chen away from the treasure pavilion.
…
In the Wang family's spacious room.
Wang Hao and several elders sat on chairs, with the eldest elder of the Wang family sitting next to them, as well as the second elder and the third elder.
"You said that the soul stone was taken back from the Jiang family?" asked the eldest elder of the Wang family.
"Um."
"That soul stone should have a certain price." said the great elder.
